lol i have a spring shotty that looks just like this
why does the 870 have to be the worse choice than the m1100 or whatever

Because semi-auto is greater than pump, regardless of how magical a pump is.
Also, keep in mind that this model sells for whatever reason; there used to be over a half dozen variations of both the M870 and M1100 available for sale, and for some reason this is the one that still gets sold.

I think I'm going to pick up an Chinese M500 after Blacksheep. It'd be fun to blow people away with that ridiculous spread between allyways.

Those M500's are awesome. Leaks are a bit of a bitch to fix though, but when it works it's insane for CQB. I think because of me destroying CQB City with my M500 they banned gas shotguns, sad. Really I think their concern was the FPS if it fired a single shot, but usually the FPS is so low when it shoots 5, like maybe 250fps tops.

Holy shit that's ridiculous. Did you have a full length or pistol grip? I'm toying with it. I prefer the full length but a pistol grip I may be able to put on a one-point and run it alongside my M4 and sidearm.

Edited:

Sorta like this guy. Not sure if the Maurshin is too long or that's exactly what he has and if having it like that means it'll be constantly swinging around and banging into things and my legs. From looking at people holding the pistol grip version it's only three or four inches shorter than the full stock.

Mine was full length. They both have the same volume of gas that can be held and ammo capacity. Having a pistol grip version on a single point sling will probably bang all over the place, especially if you go into a run. There's probably some better ways of securing it, but if you're going to use it as a secondary then definitely go with the pistol grip.

I had some white paint and primer left over from painting my MICH white, so i painted my two broken springers white for the cosplay side of my ApSci loadout. I really like how they came out, especially the way the mag on the G36 and the grips on the M9 contrast the rest of the body.

The gas is stored in a block in the receiver, so you can swap out the stock freely. I took the full stock off mine and stuck a pistol grip on. A one-point sling would probably bang into things; what I'm running next game is a cheap shotgun scabbard attached to the back of my vest with MOLLE. And it's definitely more than three or four inches shorter with the pistol grip, definitely at least half a foot and probably around 7 or 8. The stock is pretty big.

My plan to secure my one pointed stuff while running is to keep a paracord or other kind of band tied between the front and back of my harness, so I can just slide stuff in between that and my side.
Not gonna be too comfy, but its only gonna be for short distance running anyways.

I just got into airsoft really... haven't done anything more than backyard plinking... but I bought these two, and they're really fun to use. Unfortunately my area doesn't have airsoft teams, so I haven't played a match any bigger than 2v2.

I don't know. I kind of enjoy using it. It's accurate up to about 75 yards and it's really fun seeing their surprise when they don't even know where the shot came from. I've tried an M4 AEG from Evike... it felt like throwing bullets away, and the whine of the gearbox just got annoying. They're much better for suppressing obviously but you can't be stealthy at all with them.

SR-7 is back and fixed with Prommy Piston head and Piston, and maybe a new cylinder head, apparently it was beat up but they never told me if it was replaced or not. And it has a lower spring and a new gear to replace the one that chipped (original problem, everything then snowballed).
It shoots really fucking far with a .25 without hop up on even, .30's im excited to test once I get my hands on some.
